There are no screenshots in the linked article that show a permission modal in the middle of the viewport. The only screenshot with a modal in the viewport is a screenshot of Google Meet today without this, showing how to open the modal to reset permissions.
The permission modal that's shown intentionally overlaps the line of death, which is exactly the same as it is today
Oh, sorry, the modal discussion is in the Mozilla position, for example: https://github.com/mozilla/standards-positions/issues/908
